JFK - six seconds in Dallas, three hours of stretching the truth
Posted by Terry Owen on July 3, 2008 2:00 PM
A FEW weeks ago, I was in a pub and overheard a couple of drinkers debating over who exactly was responsible for events at Dealy Plaza.
"You can't rule the Cubans out, the exiles hated the Kennedys," claimed one. "True, but the mafia could have had a hand in it too. Robert Kennedy was determined to bring all the mob bosses down," claimed the other.

Quadrophenia - The greatest teen movie of them all
Posted by Terry Owen on June 27, 2008 9:17 AM
THERE has always been a justifiable case that rock operas should be treated with a fair amount of suspicion. As prog rock went into overdrive in the mid 1970s, self indulgence on a physical and musical level threatened to squeeze the life out of genuine rock music as the concept album became the norm.

Charlie Wilson's War
Posted by Kevin Matthews on June 23, 2008 6:12 PM
I approached Charlie Wilson's War with some trepidation.
I had read American journalist and author George Crile's book about the American and Russian face-off in Afghanistan a couple of years back and couldn't quite work out how Hollywood would take the story of the enigmatic, misogynistic US senator from page to screen.
But then I heard that one of the finest writers of his generation was writing the screenplay and I knew I was in for a treat.

Rebecca: my first Hitchcock experience
Posted by Jo Kelly on June 15, 2008 9:04 PM
Curled up on the sofa with my two Spaniels, I had my first Hitchcock experience this weekend.
There's something naughty about watching a film on a sunny, Saturday afternoon with the blinds down and your pyjamas on.
It was the perfect way to delve in to a wealth of classic film I've so far missed.

The Golden Compass - a surprisingly good film
Posted by Kevin Matthews on June 14, 2008 2:00 PM
A few years back I picked up Philip Pullman's fantasy children's novel Northern Lights (yes I am a little old), and in no time at all I had polished off the entire 'His Dark Materials' trilogy.
It's an interesting yarn, which tips its hat in the direction of Tolkien and Pratchett, but which by the end of the final book (The Amber Spyglass) fails to live up to its full potential.
